When the night actually matters, Old Town regulars skip the resort dining rooms and book Virtù — Gio Osso’s small, chef-owned Mediterranean restaurant in the Bespoke Inn courtyard on Marshall Way, running since 2013 and a perennial James Beard semifinalist.
The charred octopus is the non-negotiable opener. After that, the roughly $95 tasting menu is the format the kitchen was built around, and the wine list gives you room to wander.
When to go: dinner, booked ahead — the courtyard is small and much loved. Dusk is the moment to be seated.
